It's my turn to host at the Three Muses this week and I chose THE AGE OF STEAM as my theme and that reminded me of when I'd popped in to visit my neighbour last Wednesday. There he was, after a long day of managing his fleet of hot air balloons for hire, relaxing in a steaming bath and enjoying a soothing cup of tea. I did notice the ladies outside his window and I wondered whether they were waiting for my neighbour to come out to play ..... or something more sinister .... coveting that steaming cup of tea! Mmmmmmm.

Our theme at Take a Word this week is EGGS and that made me think that somewhere in the world the temperature will be hot enough to fry eggs ... but it's not here in Yorkshire ... today we have sunshine but a cold and biting wind. Still it did give me food for thought!

We have BLACKBIRD as our word for inspiration this week at TAKE A WORD and that reminded me of the blackbird I saw the other day. I was just about to close the blinds on the thoroughly wet weather outside when I saw this old gentleman looking my way. Then I realised he wasn't looking at me at all, but at the blackbird perched on his upturned umbrella. I swear I heard it say : it's a bit on the wet side sir! I couldn't swear to it, of course!
